WOW!!!

Never thought we would hear this level of honesty from a Western leader, and certainly not Canada, given the direction of Canada in the past 25 years. Canada's shift towards multialignment is quite clear - and this level of honesty from Carney on Western "fiction" about the old order will be warmly welcomed in much of the Global South:

"We knew that the story about the rules-based order was partially false... We knew that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused and the victim. This fiction was useful [because of the goods provided by American hegemony]... So we placed the sign in the window. We participated in the rituals. And we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality. This bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination."

[Mayor Ken Sim @KenSimCity]

There was a time in this country when people like me weren’t allowed to vote, much less hold office.

Tomorrow marks the 100th anniversary of the implementation of the Chinese Exclusion Act — a racist piece of legislation that prevented those of Chinese descent from fully participating in Canadian society.

Today, at the opening of the Chinese Canadian Museum, I had the opportunity to see the stories of those who came before me — those who came to this country to build a better life for themselves and their families.

To see the accounts of their struggles and achievements be told in such an impactful way is incredibly meaningful.

I look forward to seeing how this museum will illuminate those stories and showcase the countless contributions that Chinese Canadians have made to our city, province, and country.

@LizaYuzda @adriandix @TELUS @NEWS1130 @adriandix should have anticipated something like this would happen & have a backup plan. its not @telus fault. @bcndp had a whole year to work on this but expect something that was basically scrapped together at the 11th hour to be flawless? maybe in perfect world..

Wearing a double mask or fitting a single mask more closely on the face substantially reduces the risk of infection with the virus that causes Covid-19, according to a new study published by the CDC https://t.co/IRdD9rNSTF
